N.H.L.: ROUNDUP; Satan and Peca Lead Buffalo

Miroslav Satan and Michael Peca scored goals 2 minutes 37 seconds apart in the second period, leading host Buffalo to a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay last night.

Martin Biron made 21 saves for the Sabres, who snapped a three-game losing streak as well as a three-game home losing skid.

Darcy Tucker scored for Tampa Bay, which has lost six straight games and is 1-16-2 since mid-December. Dan Cloutier, who gave up eight goals Monday night at Washington, had 22 saves against the Sabres.

Satan opened the scoring with 8:01 remaining in the second period.

Peca then scored his eighth goal of the season, poking home a rebound after Cloutier made the stop on Eric Rasmussen's slap shot.

Tucker spoiled Biron's shutout bid 1:30 into the third period. Chris Gratton made a nice pass from behind the net, and Tucker scored his 13th goal with a shot through Biron's glove.
